Huawei hits 100 million HarmonyOS smartphone sales in latest analysis
Huawei released HarmonyOS as a response to the company's loss of the (official) use of Android in 2021, and hasn't looked back since.
The OEM had shipped 103 million smartphones with the software by the end of 2024, according to new research freshly published by Canalys.
Of those handsets, ~45% were sold last year. Huawei is also now estimated to have sold 21 million HarmonyOS tablets before 2025 began, 50% of which shipped in 2024.
Furthermore, Canalys' numbers would be greater were the ever-growing range of HarmonyOS wearables taken into account.
The OS might achieve even more reach with the release of the latest MateBook Pro, which, along with Huawei's first-gen foldable laptop, the MateBook Fold, debuted with Huawei's home-grown alternative to Windows.
The first two HarmonyOS PCs have on-trend features such as advanced wireless integration with other Huawei devices and an AI assistant (known as Celia in China).
It also has some early teething problems, chiefly the inability to run app suites from the likes of Microsoft and Adobe, which might cost Huawei quite a lot of time and resources to solve.
